Navigator2 by Steven Frye

Specifications:Navigator2 is designed so that the momentary push button on the front right causes
the robot to cut the left motor off so the only motor running is the right motor this causes
Navigator2 to turn left because the only motor runninhg is the right motor this is the same collison
system I used on navigator1 also I used a resistor to slow the fast dc motors down.Navigator2,s
power supply is two AA nimh Nickel-Metal Hydride batterys their 1.2v batterys I used these so my 3v
40mA solar cell could safely charge Navigator2,s batterys and and I used a led to keep the batteys
juice from leaking out when the solar cell charges the batterys also Navigator2 has a on indicating
led yellow.

Problems:I had a few problems like Navigator2 is an indoor robot and its solar cell does work under
indoor light but it does work around a window are a door with glass in it.Another problem is that
Navigator2 is some what back heavy so im going to try to find some method to fix this problem.
